It is a common sight for drivers to perform a lane change, a turn or a U-turn without using their signal indicator.

One may feel it is a minor issue that these inconsiderate drivers behave this way until this happens:

What Happened?

When this accident occurred, the cam bike was riding along Tampines Walk just outside Our Tampines Hub. 

A grey Honda Shuttle was driving in front of the cam bike, LITERALLY hovering in between 2 lanes.

At this point, the cam bike decided to perform an overtaking manoeuvre by overtaking the Honda Shuttle on its right. 

Just then, the Honda Shuttle does an unexpected (and illegal) U-turn without signalling. 

Unable to react accordingly, the cam bike smashed into the side of the Honda Shuttle. 

Judging how the Honda Shuttle driver drives, he either forgot to put up his P-Plate, or he doesn't give a shit about other road users.

The Aftermath

Quote

Failing to give a signal under Rule 2(1) of the Road Traffic Rules for light vehicles could result in a $100 fine and 0 demerit points.

Similarly, performing an unauthorised U-turn could result in a $100 fine and 0 demerit points for light vehicles.

A mere $200 fine for this Honda Shuttle, along with the repair fees of the motorcycle/motorcyclist's insurance claim, seems unjust for his actions. 

Drivers like the Honda Shuttle driver should be off our roads!

Netizens' Comments

What a senseless comment.

This should be a lesson for this P-plate biker to become a more defensive rider. 

Can take Grab/Gojek or not? LOL.
